TESIS PARA OPTAR AL GRADO DE MAGISTER EN ANÁLISIS ECONÓMICO / In February of 2010 a Law on Equal Opportunities and Social Inclusion of Persons with
Disabilities, the Law N. 20.422, was enacted in Chile. One of the aims of this reform was to
improve the labour inclusion for the people from this group, but until now there is still no
evidence that supports the ful llment of that objective. In that line, by analyzing longitudinal
data from the Chilean Social Protection Survey we nd that the Law N. 20.422 had no
signi cant labour e ects in the short term and that it implied mid term negative impacts
on the labour force participation and the employment rate of the working age persons with
disabilities in the country. The latter holds even after controlling for the increasing trend of
individuals receiving disability bene ts, for individuals' unobserved heterogeneity and for the
potential dynamic e ects of labour state dependence.
